It's not crazy. EPEL is intended to build on RHEL content, which means we can't depend on something RHEL doesn't publish. If Red Hat wants to publish their buildroot repo, then sure, we could use it. Just because it happens to exist in the CentOS Stream 9 buildroot content does not mean we would be able to rely on it once we replace CentOS Stream with RHEL for EPEL 9. Thus, we don't use the CentOS Stream 9 buildroot either. If we did, we'd wind up in a situation where packages were built once and then not buildable ever again. That already kind of happened when we initially had that buildroot repo in the EPEL build environment and it made it way harder for us to figure out what gaps we had for things to build against RHEL later. We've fortunately dealt with the small number of cases that occurred from then. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ epel-devel mailing list -- epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to epel-devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/epel-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
